Two-division ONE champion Christian Lee is arguably the most accomplished fighter under the age of 25 on earth and fans adore his relentless finishing ability.

'The Warrior' secured his second world title in his most recent outing, as he finished former welterweight champ Kiamrian Abbasov in the fourth round. The finish served as Lee's 16th inside the circle.

Incredibly, the double champ has finished the likes of Shinya Aoki, Timofey Nastyukhin, and Ok Rae Yoon in world title fights. Only one of Lee's 17 ONE Championship victories went the distance, which is an incredible stat that speaks volumes of his finishing abilities.

Christian Lee reflects on war with Kiamrian Abbasov

'The Warrior' faced the daunting task of facing a bigger opponent in former welterweight champ Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE on Prime Video 4. Lee passed the test with flying colors as he took out his Kyrgyz-Russian foe in the fourth round.

Afterwards, Lee reflected on his title-winning performance in an exclusive conversation with ONE. He said:

“Looking back, I still feel like I could’ve done much better at that fight. I feel like if I was fighting at my full potential that night, I could’ve finished him in the first round. But I had that early knockdown by Abbasov, and that kinda set me back a little bit. It turned the fight into a war which I was prepared for anyways.”

Now holding a pair of belts, the question becomes, who will 'The Warrior' take on next?

Well, the champ has named No.3 lightweight contender Saygid Izagakhmaev as a viable next challenger within the division. The rising star is fresh off of a win over Shinya Aoki — his third victory in as many fights inside the circle.

Meanwhile, Lee has vowed to enter his next fight at welterweight in better condition, as he admits to having struggled with stamina in his welterweight debut.

Be sure to check back for an announcement pertaining to Christian Lee's next fight, as it will likely be another defense of his lightweight world title.
